Omnilex headnote

Art. 5 Abs. 2, Art. 73 Abs. 1 BZP in conjunction with Art. 40 OG; withdrawal of appeal and costs: upon valid withdrawal of an appeal, the Federal Supreme Court discontinues the proceedings without a merits determination and strikes the case off; the withdrawing party ordinarily bears the court costs. The dispositive effect is termination of the appellate proceedings, not a substantive adjudication of the disputed claim.
